I’m learning a few programming languages to build an application for my company including Java and Flash 5. My question is can Java create an executable file (those files with extensions \*.exe) which one click will start the application. I’m wandering Java can achieve that. What i know is that Java can only create Applet to be embedded in the browser or application which must have JVM to run on.

I have no idea about flash but in the publish setting s you can check to publish a .exe file.

Good luck,
